Hi Doctor i'm 24 years old. I Have Ringworm Infection on my legs & Jock Itch in my groin area from past 4-5 months , i didn't know it was ringworm infection till recently. I have been applying Surfaz-SN cream on it. The results of applying cream has been very liitle. I'm Basically from Bangalore & i have been living in Delhi from past 7 months & the infection started surfacing at the end of summer in Delhi i.e. after 1-2 months of my living in Delhi & think the infection is due to the Hard Water that we get in Delhi because i take bath everyday as usual & been maintaining clean hygiene. So what is the cure for this Infection & what medicines should i use & what kind of hygiene should one follow?

The main reason for ringworm is not the water or environmental conditions, as there are other people also living in the same environment. The main reason is your internal body metabolism. It happens more if you are taking heavy foods, excess salt, junk foods etc. So stop taking non veg, alcohol, paneer, curd, excess salt, rajma, chhole etc in your diet. Take more of moong, masur, moth in your food. If possible go for vaman karma at a panchakarma centre near you. It will be properly cured.

Maintaining light food is important. Curd should be restricted. Salt should be restricted. Marichyadi tel (ayurvedic oil) should be applied by scratching. Also grind one dadrughan vati (not for oral use) in marichyadi tel and apply. If possible twice a day. Manjishtha, haridra tabs of himalaya each 1 tds for a month and maha manjishthadi kwath (liquid) 20 ml + equal water half hr before meals, twice a day should be used for a month. Report after that. This will create immunity against'rakt/ charam vikaras' too.

Hello, ringworm is caused by a fungus that grows on the skin. Once the fungus is established, it spreads out in rings. The centre of the ring may clear up, while a new ring of infection develops at the edge of the old ring. Fungi are microscopic organisms that can live off the dead tissues of your skin, hair, and nails, much like a mushroom can grow on the bark of a tree. Medication: take schwabe's tellurium 30/ thrice daily for 2 weeks. Management: good personal hygiene helps prevent the spread of ringworm. Teach your child to practice good hygiene and generally not to share combs, brushes, or hats. Children also shouldn't share towels, clothes, or sports equipment that haven't been properly cleaned. Avoid wearing any wet clothes, prefer cotton clothes, keep the area dry and clean. Never use others towels or clothes as well as don't share yours with others.

Take a single dose of tuberculinum 200ch, 5 drops, from the next day take tellurium 30, 5 drops once daily. Apply topi azadirachta ointment. A good personal hygiene helps prevent the spread of ringworm. Do not wear wet clothes, tight clothes, do wear loose cotton clothes. Revert after 7 days.
